  • Patent number: 8397000
    Abstract: Details of a highly cost effective and efficient implementation of a manifold array (ManArray) architecture and instruction syntax for use therewith are described herein. Various aspects of this approach include the regularity of the syntax, the relative ease with which the instruction set can be represented in database form, the ready ability with which tools can be created, the ready generation of self-checking codes and parameterized test cases. Parameterizations can be fairly easily mapped and system maintenance is significantly simplified.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7266620
    Abstract: A system core having an internal memory which transfers data from an external device to the internal memory is described. To this end, the system core includes a processor, a direct memory access (DMA) controller, an instruction memory and a plurality of memories. The instruction memory contains processor instructions and DMA instructions. The DMA controller fetches DMA instructions from the instruction memory. The DMA controller executes the fetched DMA instructions and thus populates the plurality of memories with data from the external device. The processor then operates on the data found in the populated memories.
